Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.2-9 has been released, focusing on a fix for the Project-C scheduler that aims to reduce cross-core thrashing by keeping synchronous wakees pinned to their waker's physical core. This update follows the complete rollback of the scheduler in version 7.2-6 due to severe issues, which prompted a gradual reintroduction of features alongside fixes for Steam Deck VRAM. The release, which is AMD64-only, includes an idle selection tweak and improvements to VRAM management, capping a rapid development cycle with multiple updates in under two weeks. Users can expect enhanced performance for low-latency audio and gaming, although the rapid pace of development may affect overall system stability

Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.2-9 Released With Project-C Scheduler Fix

Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.2-9 has been released. The update centers on a Project-C scheduler tweak that pins synchronous wakees to the waker's physical core until it's fully occupied, directly addressing cross-core thrashing and system hangs on SMT hardware. This refinement arrives after the scheduler was completely rolled back in version 7.2-6 due to severe regressions, forcing a slow, patch-by-patch reintroduction alongside Steam Deck VRAM fixes.
